I had an idea of an item that you could place on the side of blocks that would work if you had a network cable touching any other side of the block. You could then plug computers into it with an ethernet wire. That way you wouldn't have to have network cables coming through the walls. Personally, I don't think network cables going through holes in the wall look that good. I think an ethernet outlet would look better. The wire could be smaller then the cable, and less noticeable. I think it would be cool. I know there are other ways around the cables. I just thought this would be a cool addition.

I think that maybe the best solution for this is to make the network cabled and wired/wireless modems compatible with the Forge MultiPart API, that way you could just cover them and use the ones with the holes in them to make the cable come "through" the wall.
